"If 'tis meetin' me he's afther, all he has to do is to get on a ca-ar an' r-ride out to number nine-double-naught-nine Archey R-road, an' stop whin he sees th' sign iv th' Tip-p'rary Boodweiser Brewin' Company. I'm here fr'm eight in the mornin' till midnight, an' th' r-rest iv th' time I'm in the back room in th' ar-rms iv Or-rphyus, as Hogan says.
Mary Spencer, President." "That's the best yet," said Archey, looking at the pile of applications on the third day. "I sha'n't worry about the future half as much now." "I don't worry at all any more," said Mary, serene in her faith. "Or at least I don't worry about this," she added to herself. She was thinking of Helen again.
Helen came hurrying as though to see a miracle, for Mary couldn't sing. "Oh oh!" she said, her eyes falling on the helmet. "Who sent it? Wally Cabot?" "No; Archey Forbes brought it." "Oh-ho!" said Helen again. "Now I see-ee-ee!" But if she did, she saw more than Mary.
The bridge was a low one and only twenty yards up the stream from the falls; but though they strained their eyes to the uttermost they couldn't see as far as the dam. "I'll turn one of the headlights," said Archey, "and we'll drive over slow." The lamp, turned at an angle, swept over the edge of the dam like a searchlight. Half way over the bridge the car stopped.
"I wouldn't mind living in one of these myself," said Archey. "What are you going to do with them?" But that was a secret. Mary smiled inscrutably and led the way into the kitchen. I have called it a kitchen, but it was just as much a living room, a dining room. A Pullman table had been built in between two of the windows and on each side of this was a settee.
Archey ran to the car for a hammer, but Paul had climbed to the bow and was looking at the ring in which was fastened the cable that held the boat in place.
After she had tied up the papers and carried them to the car, and had made a tour of the new buildings Archey Forbes blushing like a sunset the moment he saw her she returned to her motor which was waiting outside the office building. Burdon must have been waiting for her. He suddenly appeared and opened the door of the car. "Allow me," he said.
As nearly as I can express it, Mary was in love with love, and could no more help it than she could help the crease in her chin or the dreaminess of her eyes. If Archey had had the field to himself, her heart might soon have turned to him as unconsciously and innocently as a flower turns its petals to the sun.
At the other end of the room was a gas range. When Wally opened the refrigerator door he saw that it could be iced from the porch. Electric light fixtures hung from the ceiling and the walls. "Going to have an artists' colony up here?" teased Archey, and looking around in admiration he repeated, "No, sir! I wouldn't mind living in one of these houses myself "
Hutchins told them about the search which he and Archey had made up and down the banks, aided with a flashlight, climbing, calling, and sometimes all but falling in the stream themselves. "But it was no use, Miss Mary," he concluded. "Master Paul is past all finding, I'm afraid." For a long time Mary sat silent, her handkerchief to her eyes. "Archey is still looking," said the judge, rising.
